Thanks for the Great Trip

Wow guys, what a great trip I had...even though I was happy to come home to Demarcus Ware here, (thanks Steven) I really enjoyed hanging out just me with you, my family.

Linda and Mike thanks for the incredible asado when I got there and all the hospitality, Mike you are the awesomest guy ever. You are a true role model for all of us, and never cease to amaze me with your energy. Linda you might be a little crazy with that chalk board office of yours, but man you are by far the smartest of all of us, and we all know who to turn to for theology, psychology, art, quilting, child raising, or violin fabrication/lessons. Steven, Josie has the Kelly Slater up on her mirror, looks at it everyday, Karla you didn't clog the toilet that morning, he did the night before. Scott and Megan you guys look right out of Santa Barbara Magazine, and I won't even mention Maddy cause she gets all the attention anyway. Kim and Tim. What we did in Brentwood, stays in Brentwood. I could talk to you every night til 4 in the morning, thank you for being you. Why don't you ever answer my calls? Steven great apartment, Karla, if you decide that being a doctor is too much, interior design? Or is that Top Knot...oh crap, another argument. You guys remind me of Liz and I.

Tom, thank you for all your help as always and we will probably talk tomorrow, so Trish, you look great and the empty nest has done you wonders. Howz the cooking going out in the garage? Stay in a low crouch and keep on punching. Jamie, I know I am not your favorite uncle, but you are really fun to hang around the office with, and I might be there more often, so learn Cantonese for me would ya. John and Karine and your fabulous WATER girl. It was true "proud Schneider" time watching my GRAN sobrina play her sport. All should go check her out in Sac, she is really something. I have been studying online water polo coaching and am open for chat room tech talk at any time.

Mom, we had so much fun. Our "one on one" was all time and I really got to see again what an incredible woman you are. We laughed so much and hanging with you and your gals at the club house, hearing all your inside things, your group of friends that love you so much. The calls in the morning that start from 730 till 9 asking for your advice and thoughts. You are truly a legend and incredible mom.

Thanks for the Great Trip everyone. Miss you already. Mike

Photographer at the Beach

Good morning all!

My very dear friend Staci will be coming to the beach on Saturday after Thanksgiving to do a family photo shoot for my mom & dad (my gift to them for their birthday or anniversary- it's been in the works so long I can't remember anymore!).

She said she is able to do other families if we would like- so if you are interested in a family portrait please let me know so we can figure out what time would work best for her to start.She recommended 3pm but if everyone wants one we can start earlier. And for you newly engaged that may need engagement shots- she said we can work those in too.

The cost is $30 for the sitting and you will purchase photos directly from her. http://www.maxwellfresno.com/ is her company's website if you would like to see her stuff. I have no idea how much the photos cost but she assured me that for my family we get good deals :)

(Stacy did Jenn's wedding pictures also. Stacy works fast and does a really nice job.)

3-Day Fundraiser

Hi Family!!

My friend recently became a rep for this company Scentsy and she's hosting an online "party" for me in which a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day!

They smell AMAZING and are an alternative to candles/fire. Basically it's a warmer that melts the wax - so it smells like a candle - but without the hazard or mess. Here's the website if you have any interest:

Thanks so much and can't wait for Thanksgiving!! :)
